Walk Into Church

HERE are the posts on this blog about walking into church.  

Some of you may be thinking that is a dumb question.
You are planning to walk into church the same way you do all the time.
Before you stop reading, read this explanation of why that is such a deep, heart-revealing question.

We need to walk prayerfully into church.
One prayer is where you will sit this Sunday.

• This doesn't mean pray that no one will be sitting in your favorite regular seat on Sunday morning
• This does mean pray that you will find a seat with ministering to people around you in mind.
• This does mean pray that you will realize God has you in the seat you are sitting in for a specific purpose.

Pray about how you can serve God and others.

• Don't come on Sunday morning as a selfish consumer.  Sunday morning is not about you.
• Come Sunday morning as a God-glorifying participant.  Sunday morning is about God.

Here are a couple of resources to help each of us think about this question.

a bookmark entitled "How to Love Your Church on Sunday"
an article entitled "The Ministry of the Pew"
an article entitled "Ten Commandments for Guest-Friendly Church Members"

a video summary of the book How to Walk into Church.
